Boot Disk - Adding Old Style Shared Memory "append=..."



Hi,
I hope this is easy for someone.

I have a dual system so don't want to install the lilo on the master boot
record, so I have a boot disk.

I created it with:

# mkbootdisk --device /dev/fd0 2.2.14-rtl2.3


It has the lilo.conf in the /etc directory.

I want to add the statement

append="mem=125M" 

for my shared memory and update the lilo, but I have been unsuccessful.  I
use the following:

#/sbin/lilo -C /mnt/floppy/etc/lilo.conf -m /mnt/floppy/boot/map - i
/mnt/floppy/boot/boot.b -v


I get the message that the boot and map files are not updated, but HOW DO I
UPDATE THEM ???


Any help is greatly appreciated --

Thanks-
